Kaiser Permanente East Bay has expanded its services for West Contra Costa members. The Pinole Medical Office Building, just eight miles from the Richmond Medical Center offers convenient access to members in the East Bay Area, which includes Pinole, El Sobrante, Hercules, Rodeo and Crockett.

The two-level, 61,800 square foot building has direct access at each level from the parking area. Though the building has the same basic interior layout as other KP medical office buildings, the exterior incorporates a traditional craftsman style look to emulate the feel of the Old Town area of the city of Pinole.

The Pinole MOB provides adult medicine, family practice, pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, radiology, a lab, a pharmacy, and health education. For emergency services, members will continue to go to our Richmond Medical Center, and for labor and delivery services, the Oakland Medical Center.

Building green
Kaiser Permanente recognizes the link between the health of the environment and the health of our people and members. The total health environment at the Pinole facility integrates green features such as:

bioswales, which contain rainwater runoff from the parking lot areas into the bay

use of filtered faucets instead of bottled water

recycled materials such as structural steel and metal studs and subbase for the paving

innovative green designs and techniques, such as permeable paving and ‘green’ roof

reducing water use by choosing native plants over turf in landscaping design, and use low water urinals and dual flush toilets

using PVC-free carpeting, wall and corner guards and chairs

practicing smart design by making more efficient use of space

adding design features that support the healing process, such as increased daylight and more green space

choosing non-toxic or less toxic building materials and cleaning materials

researching hazardous chemicals and working with vendors to identify safer alternatives
